Abstract

An efficient approach for the synthesis of highly functionalized pyrroles has been developed by a Pd(TFA)2-catalyzed tandem heterocyclization of 1-(1-alkynyl)cyclopropyl oxime derivatives under mild conditions. The reaction first proceeded via an intramolecular nucleophilic attack followed by a ring-opening process and then intermolecular nucleophilic attack as well as protonation to afford the desired products in moderate to excellent yields.
